Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Wanted Notice—Please Read On

"Catch him! Don't let him get away!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and the crowd instantly erupted. Everyone rubbed their fists and surged toward Xu Changqing.

Damn it! Do you think I'm a pushover?

Xu Changqing was getting irritated too. He had not even figured out what was going on. Who had he offended?

Why did everyone want to catch him?

With a forceful stomp, one yellow and one purple Soul Ring rapidly rose from beneath his feet. The yellow Century Soul Ring flew forward, and a Golden Dragon roared as it burst from the center of the ring. Thirty meters long and thicker than a water vat, the massive Golden Dragon completely blocked the road the instant it appeared.

The seven or eight people charging at the front could not stop in time. With a swing of its head and tail, the Golden Dragon sent them flying like rag dolls, crashing them into the crowd behind them. People toppled over in every direction, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

Xu Changqing stood there, the Golden Dragon coiled behind him. Its dragon head hung low as it stared at the several dozen people ahead, an invisible pressure spreading outward.

As the only Summoning System Soul Master on the entire Douluo Continent, he had begun to show his edge. A thirty-meter Golden Dragon delivered an absolutely terrifying visual impact.

This shocking sight made cold sweat pour down the faces of those who had been slower to charge. They backed away again and again. This handsome, refined-looking child was actually a Soul Master capable of summoning such a terrifying monster?

Most of the people present were not even Soul Masters. They had rushed forward only because the astronomical reward had gone to their heads, and Xu Changqing looked far too young. No one had expected him to be such a powerful Soul Master. Now, their legs trembled in fear.

Having come to their senses and recognized the situation, none of them dared act rashly any longer.

"Get lost!"

Xu Changqing swept his cold gaze over them and spoke frostily.

He had always believed that if others showed him an inch of respect, he would return them a foot. But these people had tried to attack him for no reason. He was not some soft-tempered pushover who could be bullied at will. Still, since they were ordinary people, he had told the Golden Dragon to hold back.

Otherwise, that single tail strike earlier would likely have killed quite a few of them.

At his shout, the dozens of people gathered around the Bulletin Board hurriedly retreated to either side.

Xu Changqing strode forward. He wanted to see what kind of bullshit news had made these people want to capture him.

A Portrait had been posted on the Bulletin Board. With just one glance, he knew it was a picture of himself. He was so certain because it was far too lifelike, as though it had been taken with a camera. Every detail was perfectly captured. It could no longer simply be described as a portrait. He had no idea what method had been used to create it.

He looked at the small text beneath the Portrait.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was offering a reward throughout the Heaven Dou Empire.

This youth is named Xu Changqing. Anyone who provides information regarding this youth, provided the information is valid and truthful, may claim a reward of 100,000 Gold Soul Coins from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Anyone who provides this youth's home address may claim a reward of 500,000 Gold Soul Coins from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Anyone who brings this youth to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may claim a reward of 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins.

After reading all the fine print, Xu Changqing's mouth twitched violently.

Fuck!

Forget ordinary people—after seeing that reward, even he wanted to capture himself and claim the bounty!

"What the hell is this? I don't think I've ever offended the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, have I?"

Xu Changqing carefully thought back. He was certain that he had remained in Notting City for the past nine years. The farthest he had ever gone was the Soul Hunting Forest. He could not remember ever having any contact with anyone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Since he had never interacted with them, why were they offering a reward for him?

"You!" Xu Changqing pointed at a burly man in the crowd. "How long has this notice been up?"

"M-my lord, it was just put up not long ago," the burly man replied tremulously.

"Who put it up? Are they still here?" Xu Changqing frowned and looked around at the crowd.

Everyone nearby who met his gaze remained silent, shaking their heads repeatedly to indicate that they did not know.

Xu Changqing snorted. It was probably not that they did not know, but that they did not dare say. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was famous and powerful; few people dared offend them.

He casually tore the Portrait off the Bulletin Board, leaped onto the Golden Dragon's head, and the Golden Dragon flicked its tail before shooting into the sky.

On the second floor of an Inn, a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Disciple in a loose white robe secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He immediately took out ink and paper and began writing furiously, recording everything he had seen and heard. Finally, he summoned a Large Bird resembling an eagle and stuffed the report into a small bamboo tube attached to its claws.

As soon as Xu Changqing returned to Si Si Jie's home, he called Si Si Jie and Tao Shu over and showed them the notice.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Why would they post notices throughout the country looking for you?" Su Yuntao frowned deeply.

Xu Changqing shook his head in confusion. "I find it strange too. I've never had any dealings with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, nor have I ever offended any disciples of their sect."

"They're acting so openly. They're being far too arrogant."

Si Si Jie slapped the table angrily. "I'll report this matter to my superiors. Even if they are the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they can't bully my little brother for no reason. Don't worry. Your Si Si Jie is still a Spirit Hall employee. If they dare act recklessly, they'll be slapping Spirit Hall in the face. You're safe here. For the time being, stay by my side and don't go to Notting Academy."

Did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really not dare act recklessly?

If a Titled Douluo appeared, everything would be over. If that kind of existence truly wanted to deal with someone, they could kill them without anyone finding any evidence.

Besides, Xu Changqing had not come to seek Si Si Jie and the others' help this time. If they really helped him, he might end up dragging them into danger.

After all, he still did not know what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wanted with him.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Changqing refused Si Si Jie's suggestion. "I'm afraid that won't work, Si Si Jie. I'm level 30 now."

He scratched the back of his head and smiled bitterly. "I plan to make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Gah!

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Si Si and Su Yuntao were both stunned speechless.

Level 30?

Over the past two years, Xu Changqing had never displayed his Soul Power level in front of them. They had always thought his Soul Power was only in the teens. At one point, the two of them had even discussed what Soul Beast they should help him hunt once he reached level 20.

And now, he was suddenly telling them that he was already level 30?

Su Yuntao's mouth twitched. "Little Changqing, you're not joking with your Tao Shu, are you?"

Xu Changqing pursed his lips. He had not wanted to deal Tao Shu a blow, since Tao Shu had always treated him well. But to prove it now, he could only apologize to him in his heart.

With a slight activation of the Soul Power within his body, one yellow and one purple Soul Ring instantly spiraled up from beneath his feet. At the same time, the aura he had concealed was fully revealed.

"A Thousand-Year Soul Ring!" Su Yuntao cried out, his eyes widening round. Si Si Jie's mouth fell open as well. Feeling Xu Changqing's Soul Power aura, which was deeper than either of theirs, they had no choice but to believe him.

Su Yuntao nearly burst into tears. After cultivating for two years, his Soul Power had only risen by two levels. He had only recently reached level 28. Si Si was merely one level above him, barely touching the threshold of level 30 and still some distance from a breakthrough. Yet Xu Changqing had overtaken them in just two years and broken through to level 30?

What kind of ridiculous cultivation speed was that?

Comparisons really could make people furious!

Even more outrageous was the fact that his Second Soul Ring was actually a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

He was probably the first Soul Master in the history of the Douluo Continent whose Second Soul Ring had reached the thousand-year level, right?

A genius! A super genius!

Su Yuntao once again had the urge to recommend Xu Changqing to Spirit City. Even if his Martial Soul had some flaws, Spirit City would surely want a genius like this, wouldn't they?

Xu Changqing had no idea what Tao Shu was thinking. He said, "Si Si Jie, Tao Shu, I'm planning to leave Notting City for a while and head to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a suitable Soul Beast. I'll also avoid the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for the time being and investigate them in secret. You don't need to worry about me. I can protect myself."

"No!"

The two snapped out of their shock and slapped the table as they rose to their feet at the same time. The Star Dou Great Forest was nothing like the Soul Hunting Forest. It was a place where one could encounter deadly danger at any moment. As half his elders, how could they possibly rest easy knowing Xu Changqing would go there alone?

But Xu Changqing had already made up his mind, and he truly had confidence in his ability to protect himself. Over the past two years, he had stockpiled quite a few good things in the System's storage space and had absorbed two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones. Compared to before, his strength was already on a completely different level.

No matter how much he tried to persuade them, Su Yuntao and Si Si refused to agree. Left with no choice, Xu Changqing secretly slipped away to Notting Academy while they slept that night and found Xiao Wu.

After explaining everything to her and telling her to stay in the academy and not go anywhere for the time being, Xu Changqing finally left with peace of mind.

Under cover of night, he took out a map and compared the routes. After picking a direction, he rode the Wood Dragon into the sky and vanished beyond the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"That brat actually ran away!"

"No, I need to report this to the sect immediately!"

Outside Notting Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Disciple in white robes looked up at the giant dragon disappearing into the distant sky, inwardly cursing the boy's cunning.
